Soho, Church of St Ann (Tower) - a photo on Flickriver

            Church tower. 1801-03 by S. P. Cockerell, the body of the church, by Wren or Talman, blitzed and since entirely demolished. Stock brick and Portland stone, lead spire cum clock tower. Exceptional and original exercise in neo-classical rationalism with sophisticated planar modelling. 3 stages, the lower 2 in brick on stone plinth with semicircular arched recess and flanking battered buttress- piers slightly inset from corner, block cornice with stone tablet set below "hanging" over recess; stone plinth to 2nd stage with shallow segmented recess cut out above block cornice, louvred oculus and quoin pilasters with corresponding breaks in cornice and blocking course above; tall stone belfry with marked batter, chamfered corners and Doric columns "squeezed" in antis flanking louvred openings, deeply moulded crowning cornice. Above rises the remarkable steeple cum clock tower starting off as a truncated stone cone, becoming a lead drum with oculi and then waisted before swelling as intersecting "barrels" for the 4 clock faces, finished off with finial and weathervane.
